Abstract

An apparatus and method for performing lawful intercept within a group call is described herein. When a group call is established that has a monitoring target as a member, the monitoring component obtains signals, locations, and data related to the monitoring target, correlates this information, and provides it to the call interception component.

Description

  This application relates generally to lawful intercept and, more particularly, to near real-time monitoring and reporting of intercepted communications in a group call setup.

  The US Interception Support Act (CALEA) is a US eavesdropping law that supports legal action to conduct criminal investigations that require eavesdropping on digital telephone networks. Existing implementations of CALEA systems typically handle only one-to-one calls and are not useful for group communications such as push-to-talk (PTT) and VoIP communications. In addition, existing implementations deliver call signals and call media (voice content) to law enforcement agencies (LEAs) over various routes, which often involves receiving this content at various times. It is difficult or impossible to correlate. In addition, the various network components required to deliver call signals and call media provide the opportunity for such components to be bypassed by custom VoIP solutions, as well as complexity and cost in scaling.

  In addition, some of the existing implementations rely on out-of-band signals such as SMS to provide location information corresponding to call signals and call media. This out-of-band signal may be detected by the end user, which is undesirable. Moreover, using best effort out-of-band signals (eg, SMS) at different physical layers rather than PTT / VoIP signals (eg, 1x vs. DoRA) does not guarantee delivery of out-of-band location information. In addition, the device user may be able to close SMS or other location-based services. Other implementations rely on networks (eg, RAN, core network) to extract location information for specific application services, but such functionality may not be widely available generally. Thus, existing CALEA implementations have many drawbacks.

Can be included. The communication module 302 can be further configured to provide target information to the core lawful intercept server 130. The information can include, for example, the name of the target, a mobile phone number, and the like. The device specific component 232 can also include a target database 304 that stores information about each target to be monitored.

  Referring now to FIG. 4, the regional group call setup function (RGCSF) 122 is shown in more detail. The RGCSF 122 may include a device specific component 232 that includes a lawful intercept regulation processing module 402 and a call setup module 404. The lawful intercept provision processing module 402 may be configured to receive a lawful intercept provision from the LAC 150. For example, lawful intercept provisions are useful for determining the name of a monitored target, the monitored target's phone number, or whether the monitored target is an actual or invited participant in a group call. Other information can be included. Using this information, the lawful intercept provision processing module 402 can be configured to determine whether the monitored target is a member of a planned group call. For example, in one aspect, the lawful intercept provision processing module 402 matches all or part of the lawful intercept provision information with all or part of group call participant information for an established group call. Can include comparator components or algorithms. Lawful intercept regulation processing module 402 may also be configured to collect initial signaling data related to the establishment of a group call. For example, even before the monitored target joins the call, the lawful intercept rule processing module 402 can proactively retrieve and temporarily store all information and communications related to the group call, so that Such information can be invoked when the target joins the call. In addition, the call setup module 404 can be configured to set up a monitoring group call.

  FIG. 7 illustrates one aspect of an example method 700 for reporting call information according to some aspects. As indicated at 702, a group communication call for a call group having a plurality of member devices can be established. For example, the call setup module 404 of the regional group call setup function 122 shown in FIG. 4 can be configured to establish a group call. As indicated at 704, at least one target member device of the plurality of member devices can be identified as corresponding to an object to be tracked. As indicated at 706, it can be determined that at least one target member device has joined the call. For example, the supervisory call setup module 504 of the area group call host function 124 shown in FIG. 5 can be configured to make this determination. As indicated at 708, a bundle of information corresponding to at least one target member device may be obtained. As indicated at 710, the bundle of information can be correlated with a corresponding portion of the call signal and corresponding audio content. In some aspects, the data collection / aggregation module 502 of the regional group call hosting function 124 shown in FIG. 5 can obtain a bundle of information and perform correlation. As indicated at 712, a bundle of information, along with corresponding portions of the call signal and corresponding audio content, can be delivered to the call interception component based on the target member devices participating in the call. For example, the distribution module 602 of the lawful intercept server 126 shown in FIG. 6 can perform this distribution.

As indicated at 806, the bundled information can be sent to the call intercept component.

  FIG. 9 illustrates one aspect of an example method 900 for monitoring call information according to some aspects. For example, the method 900 can be performed by the LEA 140 and / or LAC 150 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. As indicated at 902, an authentication may be sent to the monitoring component that provides identification information for one or more monitoring targets. As indicated at 904, a notification can be received that a group call has been established that includes at least one monitored target. As indicated at 906, the call signal associated with the group call and the corresponding audio content can be received simultaneously.

  FIG. 10 is a high-level flowchart illustrating one aspect of an exemplary method 1000 for lawfully intercepting call signals and call media in a group call. In some aspects, the method may be implemented by the region group communication server 120 shown in FIG. As indicated at 1002, a notification is received that a group call with a target as a member of the group has been established. As indicated at 1004, a call setup procedure for monitoring the call can then be performed. These call setup procedures may include, for example, adding a call intercept component such as LEA 140 (FIG. 1) as a member of the group. Group call members are unaware of the monitoring.

  A determination can be made as to whether the target has joined the call, as indicated at 1006. Otherwise, as indicated at 1008, the system continues to monitor to determine if the newly added participant / latest participant in the call is the identified target. Once the target is identified as talking, the system can determine whether the target is an actual participant in the call, as indicated at 1010. If so, as indicated at 1012, the LEA is notified that a call with the target as the actual participant has been established.

  As indicated at 1014, for example, call information including location information associated with the target is collected and distributed to the LEA. As indicated at 1016, when the call continues, the system determines whether a location update report has been received from the call participant. If so, the stored location information is updated as indicated at 1018. As indicated at 1020, the system determines whether the target has dropped the call. If the target quits the call, as indicated at 1022, the LEA is notified that the target has quit and the final location of the target is reported to the LEA. After determining that the location update has not been received, the target has stopped the call, and / or notifying the LEA that the target has stopped the call, the call monitoring continues as indicated at 1024.

  A hang timer can be used to determine whether the participant has stopped speaking for a predefined time period. As indicated at 1026, when the call continues, the system determines whether the hang timer has elapsed or whether the call has ended. If either happens, call information including the final known location of the target is communicated to the LEA, as indicated at 1028. If the hang timer has not elapsed, or if the call has not ended, call monitoring continues as indicated at 1024.

  FIG. 11 illustrates the exchange of messages between the first wireless device 104, the regional group call setup function 122, the regional group call host function 124, the second wireless device 102, the regional lawful intercept server 126, and the law enforcement agency 140. 1 illustrates one aspect of an exemplary message flow that illustrates In this exemplary message flow, the first wireless device 104 is a wireless device that is a participant in a group call but is not a target for monitoring, and a second wireless device 102 is a group call that is a target for monitoring. Participants within.

  As indicated at 1102, the user of the first wireless device 104 can issue a PTT request to initiate a group call. In this example, the first wireless device 104 that is not the monitoring target initiates the call, but the second wireless device 102 that is the monitoring target may also initiate the call. As indicated at 1104, the call request is routed to the area group call setup function 122.
